Shingle roof vs metal roof: Which one is right for your home?
For Delhi Hills homeowners comparing shingle and metal roofs. Straight answers from TruRoof.
Your Delhi Hills roof is showing its age. You're torn between a shingle roof and a metal roof. Friends say metal lasts forever, but the upfront cost scares you. You just want to make a smart choice for your home and your wallet.
Asphalt shingles are the most common roof in Delhi Hills neighborhoods like Delshire and Delhi Center. They cost less to install and are easy to repair. Metal roofs, usually steel or aluminum, can last 50 years or more. They reflect heat, which helps in Cincinnati summers. But they come with a bigger price tag.
A shingle roof replacement typically runs $8,000 to $15,000 for a standard Delhi Hills home. Metal can be two to three times that. However, metal may never need replacing as long as you own the home. Shingles usually last 20 to 30 years here. The real question is how long you plan to stay.
If you're staying less than 10 years, shingles often make more sense. You get a solid roof without the heavy upfront cost. If this is your forever home, metal pays off over time. Call TruRoof for a free inspection. We'll look at your roof, your budget, and your plans. No pressure, just the facts.
You'll have a roof that fits your home, your budget, and your future. No more guessing. Just a dry, quiet house through every Ohio season.
What people in Delhi Hills say
"I'm reviewing my two new roofs, on my house and my garage, installed by TruRoof. The company, and Damon Chuke, their representative, helped me work with the insurance company, and with understanding all the details of the whole process. They took out an obsolete chimney, were on time and professional, and the finished roofs and flashing are beautiful. Many compliments from neighbors. Highly recommended by me."
"We have a beautiful condo in a historic building from the 1840s. Late November had a bad leak in the dining room area. I called Britt at TruRoof who came out and inspected the entire roof of the building. He said to do the entire roof could be around $50,000. But then he started laughing and said you need to caulk the area around one of the chimneys. I thought he was nuts, but I did the caulking, which cost me about 25 bucks worth of outdoor caulk, and there are no more leaks. I cannot express my appreciation for his diligence and his honesty. That kind of a company and a person is rare these days. Highly, highly, highly recommend these guys."
"TruRoof did an outstanding job from start to finish. Communication leading up to the start date was great. Once on site and the project started, everything went as discussed, and the crew was very professional."
